Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Google "recognises" the original source & will rank it higher, this has been the case for some time

You should only need example.com -> Canonical to example.com/nl

It's a somewhat unorthodox approach, but if you write about your businesses industry - if your a mechanic write, about cars -   then it won't hurt your business. In my experience content is optimised for keywords, starting to publish articles sooner rather than later is a better approach in the long run.

Hello Alan,

The figure speaks for itself 35% of mobile traffic is more than worth the effort to get a button added to the mobile view of the site.

There isn't a protocol per se, just some very simple code, a variation of an anchor tag  - https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/native-hardware/click-to-call/ - your developer will be able to create a button easily enough.

In addition, they will need to add a CSS @media rule - https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_mediaquery.asp

Hello,

Yes you can for a number of reasons, the content of your copy & your backlink profile being the 2 main ones.

Don't use the sub-domain unless you have to which is generally when you want to run debit services under one domain such as  a shop alongside your main website - or - you offer 2 completely different offerings under one domain selling cars & boats etc

It wont affect your SEO, you just don;t need the the non-https version

It's a potential yes since you have the websites listed on your website as a link. Have you tried to programmatically filter porn related phrases?

Over the past few years, I've tended to use & write for both. There is no hard & fast rule other than writing for the user - intent & context.

I agree with Salem,  UpdraftPlus is the way to go, though I'd pay for the premium versions as you get support & help for $1 per week,

Hi there,

Should be OK as long as you don't repeat the same schema in the same page... One schema type per page.

Hello,

Your mobile version does show a phone number, above the "Location" dropdown.

If you mean that you should display that phone number as a button, similar to the "Contact Agent" & "Schedule Tour" - then yes place a more prominent button there. It's advisable to limit CTA's, yes, I doubt 3 is too much though.

However, before you dive in, how much of your traffic is mobile? Would it be worth the effort.

Hi there,

For Hotels, I would recommend:

• **name.com/hotel/luxury-rooms/ **

WRT to your enquiry about the location, for hotels, I would use :

• name.com/hotel/luxury-rooms/location

If you have multiple locations, then use

• name.com/hotel/luxury-rooms/country/city

or

• name.com/hotel/luxury-rooms/state/city

For Cottages:

• name.com/cottage/cottage-name/country/city

or

• name.com/cottage/cottage-name/state/city

Create Google My Business profiles for each location.

In my opinion, the 'normal' optimised images would be better because this would allow you to insert keywords in both the image name & alt tag. In both instances, I always recommend that you name the image file name using a keyword. In all instances make the images as small as possible WRT file size, that faster your site loads; the more Google will 'reward' you.

I use the MOZ link explorer to get a report a backlink profile, then I create a shortlist us isolating High SPAM domains, low DA domains.

Then check I check all of these domains & create a Disavow file based on all the domains that are obviously poor quality, rinse & repeat every 3-4 months.

As always the MOZ team have an excellent article on this topic - https://moz.com/blog/links-to-target-with-disavow.

301 redirects & point the root domain also, your hosting provider will help with this.

WRT to your competitors Look at their backlink profiles & see where they're coming from. you are approaching your on-page SEO correctly.

Also strictly speaking meta-data should be looked at as a conversion element - give the user a reason to click on that link.

What is your product &/ or service? Use that as anchor text.

PA - Page Authority

DA - Domain Authority, basically the average of all the DAs

As bagia advised - you should target High DA sites, mix nofollow and dofollow link. The higher the DA the better the results will be; you'll rank higher quicker, but, lower DAs will get you a much more natural back link profile.

My only addition would be (whenever possible) to try connect to relevant sites, those in a similar industry as yours.

PR is OK if its genuine.

Directory submissions should be reserved for local SEO these days.
